I do not doubt my welding skills but i worry about the metal being brittle. THIS IS NOT MY PIC but this is what i am talking about.

welding brake rod
I used a booster off a 97 f body to fit in a 68 firebird. I shorted the rod and slid a long coupling nut over the two seperate sections and welded them together and then to the coupling nut. It should be the safest way to do it because the sleeve the copling nut acts as strengthens any weakness caused by the cuttting and welding the rod.

I doubt if they would make a brake rod brittle. It would be one of the most durable pieces on the car.
